Hash :0848814a Message :Fix failing assertion introducd in commit 0d6622e
Patch in question:
- Fix the case when failed evhttp_make_request() leaved request in the queue.
- http://levent.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=levent/libevent;a=commit;h=0d6622e
The above patch introduces a failing assertion in
evhttp_connection_fail(). This happens because the patch defers the
assignment of the outstanding request to the evcon->requests list,
while evhttp_connection_fail() assumes that the request lies in the
list.
One scenario in which this can happen is when the request list is
empty and a connection is made to an unreachable host. The assertion
will then fail after bufferevent_socket_connect() errors out (with
ENETUNREACH in my case).
